Chapter 8 Like a God-Man

After a rainy night, there is always a sunny day. No, the sun has not risen this morning, and the east is already white.

As soon as Wu Ling woke up, he heard the sound of sword weapons dancing outside the temple.

"Someone is practicing swords?"

Wu Ling suddenly came to his senses.

At the same time, the roof beams and cobwebs that caught his eye also made Wu Ling realize that he was no longer in the Wuwang Mansion.

Wuling looked around, and the bonfire in the temple was still vigorous. Looking at the thick wood ash on the fire, it is obvious that someone kept adding dry wood last night to keep the fire unextinguished to resist the autumn coolness.

Needless to say, Wu Ling also knew that this was done by Xu Shan, who was practicing swords outside the temple.

Xu Shan's attitude of practicing swords made Wu Ling embarrassed to lie down again, he stretched his body and wanted to get up, but found that his body was sore.

The first time he slept on the floor, he was somewhat unaccustomed.

Wu Ling got up and glanced at the straw wrapped around his body and hair, a little glad that there were not many people in the temple last night, judging from the straw on his body, his sleeping posture last night was mostly very ugly.

At the same time, Wuling was also glad that people did not have a boiling fire.

Wu Ling slapped away the straw, tidied up his appearance, picked up the princely sword and sword box, and planned to go outside the door to see Xu Shan practicing swords, and by the way, he sent Chen Dou some food.

When going out, Wuling deliberately slowed down his steps, so as not to disturb Xu Shan.

After a night of heavy rain, the yellow mud at the entrance of the temple has been watered by the rain, and it has become a mud that can sink into half a shoe when you step on it.

For this reason, Xu Shan had already taken off his shoes at the moment and lifted his half-pipe trouser legs.

After a morning of practice, the loess surface, one by one, the five fingers are clear, the depth is obvious, and the place where you step on it has become a mudflat, and Xu Shan's trouser tube has been stained with a lot of muddy water.

Looking at Xu Shan's posture, there is a little bit of rain or shine.

Xu Shan practiced so much that when Wuling came out of the temple, he didn't notice it.

Looking at the sweat on his forehead, he obviously got up early to practice his sword.

Wu Ling didn't bother, nor did he rush to deliver food to Chen Dou, but stopped, leaned against the temple gate, and watched intently.

Wuling has always had a hobby, which is to watch others practice swords.

At the beginning of this hobby, it was because Wu Sha did not allow Wu Ling to practice swords, so he had to go to watch others practice swords, and strive to memorize everything that others had learned, so that he could learn swords in the future and catch up with others.

Whether it is the casual swing of a toddler who has just held a sword, or the dancing of a graceful sword girl, Wuling can watch it all day.

The swordsmanship practiced by Xu Shan was not the basic swordsmanship of the Martial King's Mansion.

Wu Ling saw this at a glance.

The basic swordsmanship of the Wuwang Mansion is open and closed, and it pays attention to courage and courage. Because of this, it is often jokingly referred to as a knife technique.

In fact, not only the Wuwang Mansion, but also the number of swordsmanship in the entire Martial Kingdom is basically the same.

The thirteen countries of Kyushu, the swordsmen of each country, have different pursuits of swordsmanship, which also leads to the fact that the swordsmanship prevailing in each country is different, each with its own local style, and this also verifies the saying that one side is the water and the other side.

Xu Shan's sword is a thin sword, and the swordsmanship in his hand is like a drizzle, continuous, which is very different from the swordsmanship popular in the Martial Kingdom, but it is more similar to the swordsmanship that prevails in the Rain Country.

Although Wu Ling has practiced a sword in the past two years since he was a child, he has not made much achievements in his own swordsmanship, but he has seen many people practice swords, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he has read countless people.

Xu Shan has a restrained and steady personality and is diligent, and because of this, the swordsmanship in his hand is impermeable and continuous under the practice of hundreds of times in his hands.

But this set of swordsmanship is not what it wants to express.

This set of swordsmanship, which pays attention to lightness and changeability, is not as smooth and soft as Xu Shan practiced.

If Xu Shan used this set of swordsmanship like this, the power would be discounted by at least half.

It can be said that this set of swordsmanship is not suitable for Xu Shan.

The reason why this is so is somewhat related to Xu Shan's character.

After practicing the swordsmanship five times, Xu Shan pulled a sword flower and stopped practicing. Practicing this set of swordsmanship five times a day is a task that Xu Shan must do, his talent is not good, and he can only rely on diligence to make up for his clumsiness.

If you want to become a coachman in the palace, in addition to observing words and emotions and driving the carriage skills, martial arts are also essential.

Over the years, he has traveled south and north with the Wuwang Mansion, and Xu Shan has encountered bandits who block the road and rob or assassins who have been assassinated several times.

The set of swordsmanship practiced now is a trip with King Wu, and he met a mountain bandit in the rain country, and after the Wuwang Mansion exterminated the mountain bandits, he found it in the lair of the mountain bandits. Xu Shan was wounded in the battle, after which King Wu rewarded him with swordsmanship as a reward.

It is often said that there are three realms in practicing a set of swordsmanship, which are familiarity with sword moves, flexible use and simplification.

After three years of practice, Xu Shan was already familiar with this set of swordsmanship.

As for whether it has reached the point of flexible use, Xu Shan doesn't know, he has not used this set of swordsmanship to compete with people or fight.

When I was a child, I watched others practice swords, and the habit of remembering sword moves wholeheartedly made Wuling's memory good.

Wuling said to Xu Shan: "Brother Xu, get up so early to practice swords?"

Xu Shan wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeves and said, "Let the son see and smile." ”

Wu Ling quipped: "It's good that you don't blame me for stealing from the sidelines." ”

Xu Shan scratched his head and said, "Childe said that he laughed! The swordsmanship can be remembered by looking at it once or twice, and the swordsmanship is rewarded by the palace, and the son's swordsmanship can be said at any time if he wants to learn it." ”

Wu Ling asked, "What does Brother Xu think of this set of swordsmanship?"

"It's complicated and hard to practice!"

Xu Shan didn't think about it and blurted out.

In order to practice this set of swordsmanship, Xu Shanke endured a lot of hardships.

Especially when I first started practicing, I often forgot the next set of sword moves while practicing. To practice the swordsmanship, you need to read the sword book more than a dozen times. In the first three months, without reading the sword book, Xu Shan couldn't practice the sword technique from beginning to end.

If it were an ordinary person, he would have given up and stopped practicing.

Wu Ling said with a serious expression: "Brother Xu, come and see, how am I practicing!"

Wu Ling put the sword box aside, then took off his shoes and walked naked to the clearing. The cold muddy water on the soles of the feet wraps the soles of the feet, which makes people feel refreshed.

Wu Ling stuck the sheath of the princely sword diagonally into the ground, and then slowly drew out the princely sword.

This is the first time that the princely sword fell into the hands of Wu Ling, and the sword body was all unsheathed.

Wu Ling placed the sword horizontally in front of his eyes and glanced at his eyes along the smooth edge of the sword.

Looking at each other, Wu Ling exhaled lightly, and the hand holding the sword began to clench at this moment. The sun had just risen in the east, and a ray of morning light shone right on the sword's body, and the light rose sharply.

The sword moved with him, Wu Ling bent down, and the sword in his hand swept out.

At first, Wu Ling's sword was smooth, but as he practiced, the speed of sword moves changed faster and faster. After a while, Wu Ling was immersed in sword practice, as if only he was left in heaven and earth.

For a while, the temple kept flickering with sunlight reflected by the sword body.

Although his body was slightly sluggish, the change of moves did not decrease at all, and he almost reached the sword.

This scene stunned Xu Shan.

For a long time, Wuling has been in the Wuwang Mansion and is synonymous with good talk. The fact that Wu Sha did not let Wu Ling learn swords was not a secret in the Wu Wang's Mansion.

Therefore, in the eyes of many people, Wuling is a weak scholar, including Xu Shan.

And the Wuling in front of him, how can he not know the sword at all.

If he hadn't grown up watching Wuling, Xu Shan would have suspected that the Wuling in front of him was fake.

Chen Dou in the carriage looked at everything at the entrance of the temple with interest.

In Xu Shan's eyes, every move of Wuling was very incredible, but Chen Dou saw many problems at a glance.

In today's Wuling, the body obviously can't keep up with the brain.

It's a matter of talent.

If Wu Sha and Jiang Minyue came, took a look at Xu Shan's sword practice, and then performed it himself, it would definitely not be like this.

Ordinary people practice swords, the first step is to find a way to write down all the sword moves in the sword book, and the first step of genius is to consider the swordsmanship recorded in the sword book, whether it is fast and accurate, or ingenious and changeable, or open and close, that is, the sword momentum.

This can be done with Wu Ling's cleverness.

The ingenuity and variability of this set of swordsmanship has already been displayed in Wu Ling's hands.

But that's about it.

Because his body couldn't keep up with the changes in his mind, Wu Ling couldn't practice swordsmanship for the first time, so he showed the charm and artistic conception of practicing swords.

The talent gap between Wu Ling and Wu Shattered Jiang Minyue lies in this.

A person's cultivation talent is divided into mental and physical talent.

The so-called mind, it is talking about spiritual power, also called divine thought, which arises from the divine soul.

The stronger the mental power, the smarter the person. The most basic benefit is that whether it is the ability to learn, or the ability to observe and think, it is different from ordinary people.

Ordinary geniuses only have one or the other, while true geniuses have both.

Of course, Wu Ling's talent is not bad, after all, Wu Shatter and his wife are the most talented people Chen Dou has ever seen.

The talent is so high that even Chen Dou envies it.

After a complete set of swordsmanship, Wu Ling's face was covered with sweat.

However, from the moment the sword was unsheathed, the smile on Wu Ling's lips never disappeared.

For men, happiness is as simple as that.

Wu Ling put away his sword, gasped slightly, and shook his head helplessly, "It's still very difficult to perfectly display a new set of swordsmanship in one look." ”

Although he has only practiced one move in the past two years, Wu Ling usually exercises his body, but his body still can't keep up with the rhythm.

This is because the basic skills are not practiced in place.

In addition to this, there is also a small part of the reason for the sword.

The princely sword is a hard sword, which cannot be bent too much, and the practice of this sword technique also has certain requirements for the sword. If you want to show off your swordsmanship perfectly, you need a sword with excellent flexibility and the ability to swing out at such a large angle formed by the opening of the tail finger and thumb.

There is a certain relationship between the performance of swordsmanship and the shape and flexibility of the sword.

Wu Ling put the sword back into its scabbard, walked to Xu Shan's side, and said, "Brother Xu, what do you think?"

Xu Shan came back to his senses from a daze, and said suspiciously: "What Gongzi just performed is really a set of swordsmanship that I practiced just now?"

Judging from the moves, the two of them did practice the same set of swordsmanship.

But it looks like two different sets of swordsmanship.

"Or else?"

Wu Ling asked, "Brother Xu, do you know what is the most important thing about this set of swordsmanship?"

Xu Shan shook his head, as a coachman, how could he think about these things. Feeding the horses, washing the horses, and picking up horse manure every day is enough for Xu Shan to be busy for a while. For subordinates like them, if they want to practice swords, they can only get up early in the dark and squeeze time by themselves.

When Xu Shan got the sword book, the first thing he thought of was how to practice the sword technique as quickly as possible according to the moves recorded in the sword book.

Without Master's teaching, it can only be like this.

Whoever can make perfect is the only concept of Xu Shan's sword practice.

Wu Ling was like when he was a master in the school, when he answered the questions to the students, he smiled and explained to Xu Shan: "It's the two points of ingenuity and change. The number of its paths is the same as the ...... that prevails in the rain country today."

Wu Ling's patient explanation made Xu Shan lose his mind for a while.

At this moment, Xu Shan understood why King Wu would let Wu Ling, who was only fifteen years old, become the master of the Wuwang Mansion School two years ago.

Teacher, preach and receive karma to solve doubts.

Isn't that exactly what is happening at the moment?

Xu Shan was very moved in his heart, he put away his thoughts and looked at Wuling with concentrated eyes.

The morning sun shone right on Wuling.

At this moment, Wuling looks vibrant, like a god.
