Ring Volume XVIII.
After World War I many years ago, the two thought that they would soon have another chance to win or lose, so in addition to practicing martial arts diligently, they were also studying each other's martial arts.
The two understood that no matter who they were, after having such an opponent, they would not slack off in martial arts.
Over the years, in order to restrain each other's martial arts, both of them have been constantly improving their martial arts. But as time went by, and their mood grew, the two gradually felt that their respective paths were crooked.
A book of martial arts cheats, even if it is practiced by twin brothers who have grown up together since childhood, the results of practice are often very different, not to mention that different people are studying it.
Whether Liu Songliang is studying "Wind and Thunder Twin Swords", or Wu Yuangong is studying "Bagua Seal Wen Killing Serial Sword", they are all using their own hearts and thoughts to study the changes in the other party's future swordsmanship.
For this reason, they even have to change their sword path to restrain the possible direction of the sword moves.
In order to deal with "Wind and Thunder Twin Swords", Liu Songliang's sword moves must become concise and clear.
In order to deal with the "Bagua Seal Text Killing Serial Sword", Wu Yuangong's moves have also changed a little.
At first, the two of them had a dispute with each other in order to defend their own theories, and finally they started.
But in the end, in order to defeat each other, they are getting farther and farther away from their own persistence.
Thinking of this, both of them thought it was funny.
Now, both of them are already a handful of years, and the cultivation realm is comparable to when they were young.
In the face of the long-awaited battle, neither of them had the impulse to make a move.
Mental confrontation, locking in the move. While detecting the other party's flaws, we must always be vigilant and not give the other party a chance to take advantage of it.
About a cup of tea passed, and smiles appeared on both of their faces.
There are no flaws.
In other words, with their current strength, they can't find each other's flaws for the time being, and it is impossible for the other party to see their own flaws.
It seems that his own ideas are a little naΓ―ve, and it is impossible to defeat the other party without blood.
The moment the sword light flashed, the two were already fighting together.
The two have already fought with all their might, and they have studied each other's sword moves for many years, so it stands to reason that they should be familiar with each other's skills.
A slash close to the face, a half-stab on the side of the neck......
The most dangerous attack, the most terrifying counterattack......
These should have all been.
But when it really came to hand, the two became cautious again.
Sure enough, it's different from what I thought.
Thunder is rather than send, and wind gathers but does not disperse.
I haven't seen him for many years, and Wu Yuangong also wants to explore how far Liu Songliang's martial arts have improved.
Similarly, Liu Songliang's gossip sword is also a hexagram sword move.
The hexagram sword can be attacked and defended, and it is more complicated and difficult than the eight swords of the hexagram. It's a tentative move, but it's also a rare move.
Many masters teach their apprentices, in order to serve the shelf, they only talk but do not practice, and let the apprentices experience it themselves. But these disciples who can understand it as soon as they say it and understand it are so easy to find.
Therefore, this battle is an excellent learning opportunity for those who want to go to the next level, but because they don't know how to meet a teacher.
Especially Wei Guangsheng, he felt that the sword was alive in the master's hands.
Due to his limited talents, what Liu Songliang handed over to his apprentices were all defensive-oriented Kun hexagram eight swords and Gen hexagram eight swords.
When these sixteen sword moves are taught, it will be a combination of offense and defense. Later, it was the eight swords of the hexagram and the eight swords of the Xun hexagram that attacked more and defended less.
This hexagram eight sword was originally a new move that Wei Guangsheng was about to learn, but because Liu Songliang had a flash of inspiration in his mind during that time, he had a new understanding of the eight sword moves, so he didn't have the heart to teach his disciples anymore.
It's just that the eight-style sword trick is taught, how to cooperate with the internal strength of the heart, and how to do the trick of luck moves, Liu Songliang didn't teach it.
Therefore, although Wei Guangsheng knew how to practice sword moves, he didn't understand how to use them in actual combat.
When Liu Songliang and Wu Yuangong confronted each other, they used the Eight Swords of the Hexagram to let the apprentice see the actual combat changes of this sword move.
Otherwise, at this time, you can use the Eight Swords to better defend, so that the opponent's offensive moves consume more real power, and wait for the defense to counterattack. You can also use the Xun hexagram eight swords to create traps in defense, and once Wu Yuangong determines that his sword move has a flaw, it is the time to make a move.
Liu Songliang really loves his apprentice, and after the eight-style sword move, it was again.
Although it is the same eight-style sword move, the usage is different, and it even cooperates with the three hexagram twenty-four sword moves of Kun, Gen, and Kan.
After more than 30 moves, Wu Yuangong suddenly exerted his strength, and the stroke was thunderous, and the double blade hit Liu Songliang with a little bit.
Seeing this, Liu Songliang changed his move, and the original sword turned into a move of the Gen hexagram sword "did not get his body", and turned the sword body into a sword and shield, and the power distribution was blocked in front of him, no matter where Wu Yuangong's two swords attacked, they could be prevented.
After a loud sound, the two flew back.
Fang stood firm, Liu Songliang was still about to fight again, but he saw Wu Yuangong's double swords into the sheath, and his hands were behind his back, and he had no intention of making another move.
"Brother Wu, what do you mean by this, why do you want to collect your sword and not come out?"
"Can't put away the sword?" Wu Yuangong snorted coldly and said, "I want to ask you, brother, there is nothing wrong with competing in martial arts and testing first." But you go back and forth and fight me with eight swordsmanship, are you overconfident, or do you look down on the old man?"
When he said this, Liu Songliang's face couldn't help but turn red.
Yes, just now, in order to be able to guide his apprentices more, he really didn't put his mind on the duel.
At this point, he could only smile awkwardly and said, "I thought that over the years, I had improved in my lower cultivation, and it was not difficult to beat my elder brother." I didn't expect that the pursuit of excellence is not only below, brother, you are still old and strong. I've made you unhappy with these three or two. In that case, I won't hide it anymore, Brother Wu, you have to be careful. β
After that, Liu Songliang's spirit converged and his momentum increased sharply, and as soon as the pine pattern sword blade in his hand turned, the blade attacked with the power of thunder.
Seeing this, Wu Yuangong didn't dare to be careless, and the double swords came out again, directly attacking Liu Songliang's flaws.
The second time they met, the sword moves and mood of the two were obviously different from just now.
It was just a probe just now, but after the two fought dozens of moves, they knew that probing was useless.
The detectives have already been detected, and if they can't be detected, no matter what moves you use, the other party will still have reservations. To know the other person's bottom, you have to come up with your own.
With all his strength, the entire second floor of the ring was shrouded by the sword gangs of the two. In the sword gang, there is the sound of wind and thunder and the sound of mountains.
In this official fight, both of them found that the other party's sword moves had become slower than they had been decades ago.
This kind of slowness is not because people are old, so their movements are slow, but because the martial arts moves themselves have slowed down.
In the eyes of ordinary people, their actions are still extremely fast, so fast that they are caught off guard, and they are dazzlingly fast.
But only those who have fought each other like them can feel that the other party's martial arts are slow.
It turned out that over the years, the two had been improving their own martial arts in the process of studying each other's martial arts. Both of them have the wisdom of martial arts masters, and of course they will not stubbornly refuse to improve their deficiencies in martial arts because of their own ideas. With this improvement, there are more changes in Wu Yuangong's swordsmanship, and there are also more decisive moves in Liu Songliang.
The two of them really used the theories they had studied for many years in actual combat.
Wu Yuangong's thunder sword is huge, the wind sword is erratic, and the power of the sword can entangle the opponent with the power of the stroke, and then use the power of the thunder sword to see the opportunity to attack.
Once hit, it's like being hit by a heavy weapon. If it dodges, the wind will rise again, and it will turn into a heavenly sword qi and follow.
But when it comes to wind and thunder, among the gossip, there are also Xunfeng and thunder.
Moreover, there are 16 swords in the Xun and Lei hexagrams, and their changes are more than the sword moves of the wind and thunder double swords. Once entangled, it is more like a maggot on the tarsal bone
The key Liu Songliang's sword moves are not only these two hexagrams, but the sixty-four swords of gossip.
It stands to reason that Liu Songliang has the advantage in sword moves and should have won a long time ago. But he couldn't get half of the benefits, and even found shortcomings.
And this kind of inadequacy will only be discovered when facing off against a master like Wu Yuangong.
Liu Songliang has many moves, and various combinations are endless. But it's just this change, it's become more, and the rhythm is a little bit out of tune.
can't keep up with their own rhythm, and they have to keep changing, and the result is chaos.
When the moves are messed up, the heart is messed up.
The master duel does not allow for the slightest distraction, let alone the confusion.
On the other hand, Wu Yuangong's moves are simple and clear, horizontal slashing, vertical slashing, and straight stabbing, without too much fancy, and all the strains come from years of cultivation.
"I didn't expect that after so many years, his heart has calmed down a lot. Under the ring, in the crowd, a female nun said.
"Senior sister, who are you talking about?"
The nun who spoke wore a mud-gray monk's robe and carried a sword about three feet long and widened behind her back. He looks like he's only in his early forties, but in fact, this person is already in his sixties. This Ni is none other than the head of the Emei faction, Feng Lei Shitai.
And the one who asked was the representative of the younger generation of the Emei faction, Liu Ruyu in the "sinking fish and falling geese".
"Uncle Junior, you don't know, what Master said is naturally Wu Yuangong. β
The one who called Liu Ruyu the little uncle was Zheng Ruilan, a disciple of Feng Lei Shitai's disciple "Golden Lotus Landing".
With them, there was another disciple - Zhu Songshan, who was "close to the end of the world", and the two apprentices of the two senior brothers, Feng Lei and Ruyu, Zhong Pingfeng, "desperately Tai Sui", and Zhou Tianrui, who "divided the water and broke the river".
However, except for Zheng Ruilan, the other three all walked not far from the ring to watch the battle, preparing to go up to fight after the competition between Liu Songliang and Wu Yuangong was over.
They knew that their martial arts were not as good as those of Wu and Liu, but they were still stronger than Wei Guangsheng.
As for why the Wind Thunder Master was so close, it was because he was afraid of being seen by Wu Yuangong.
Because Zheng Ruilan is the eldest disciple of the head of the family, he is naturally around the master of the permanent servant. And Liu Ruyu was because the Wind Thunder Master was too afraid that he would cause trouble, so he kept her by his side.
Liu Ruyu didn't know about the past between Feng Lei Shitai and Wu Yuangong, and she had never even heard her senior sister mention it. However, when I think of Wu Yuangong's martial arts and weapons, and the name of my senior sister is called Wind and Thunder, I think it should have something to do with it.
However, Liu Ruyu thought simply, and the two of them had more than a relationship.
β―β―β―β―β―
It is said that the two have known each other since childhood, and at that time, Wu Yuangong was not the world-famous "Zhongshan Swordsman". Wind Thunder Master is not the head of the Emei faction, and he doesn't even have the title of Wind Thunder.
However, for the sake of description, the contemptible people still refer to it as wind and thunder.
Wu Yuangong and Fenglei live in the same town, and as far as the family is concerned, both of them are famous families in the town, and they can be said to be the right family.
Wu Yuangong's three generations of boxing are the head of the Lianzhuang Association in Shili and Eight Townships.
Mrs. Fenglei's family was born as a landlord and her family is well-off.
Many of the long-term workers and family members of the Wind Thunder Master's family have learned both hands in the Wu Yuan Gong family.
When the Wind Thunder Master was too young, Wu Yuangong held her by his side. When the Wind Thunder Master was too old, he pulled her around the town. One is the son of the head of the Lian Zhuang Association, and the other is the daughter of the rich man, and both parents are very satisfied with this family business.
But it didn't last long for such childhood sweethearts and two little guesses.
Wind Thunder Master has not been in good health since he was a child, and he has not been able to see why he has invited many doctors, and the older he gets, the more serious his condition becomes.
Both families are anxious about this.
However, their families are quite strong, so they have not given up treatment.
This year, Wu Yuangong reached the year of Zhixue, and the Wind Thunder Master was also six years old.
This year, Feng Lei Shitai's condition became more and more serious, and he often couldn't get out of bed for three or five days, and even fell into a coma for a day and a night.
Similarly, this year has become a turning point in the lives of the two.
Because of illness, the Wind Thunder Master's family looked for doctors everywhere.
On this day, an uncle came to Fenglei's family, and as soon as he came, he told his sister a good news, saying that they had a nun who was good at curing incurable diseases, and her niece's strange illness might be saved.
The family is also anxious about their daughter's illness, and when they hear that someone can cure it, no matter what the situation is, what kind of person is the nun and whether she is really capable. immediately asked people to set up a car and take their daughter to the city to see a doctor.
This scene happened to be seen by Wu Yuangong, who went to visit Feng Lei's condition, and he hurriedly went over to ask the other party's family.
When he learned that the other party was going to the city to see a doctor, his heart relaxed.
I thought that the other party had cured the soldiers and would come back soon. I didn't know that when I waited, it was evening.
For a teenager who is still underage, it is not easy to be able to endure being in one place for most of the day, just to wait for someone.
When he returned home, Wu Yuangong was depressed, but on the contrary, his father and others had a cheerful smile.
The old housekeeper told him that his master had come back, and that he had brought a friend with him, and that he was talking and laughing in the living room, and that the master had asked him to go to the living room to meet him as soon as he returned.
Wu Yuangong just wanted to tell the old housekeeper that he was a little tired today and wanted to go back to his room early to rest, when he heard: "It's Yuangong who is back, hurry up and meet your master." β
"Yes. Wu Yuangong replied helplessly and entered the living room.
When I entered the house, I saw that it was my master.
This martial artist has taught martial arts for three generations, Wu Yuangong's grandfather, and he was also the head of the martial arts head of the Lianzhuang Association in this ten miles and eight towns before.
The old man taught many disciples in his life, but these people now make a living from farming, and they only practice martial arts to strengthen their bodies. Later, there were only two people who were really willing to continue to refine their martial arts.
One is his son, who is Wu Yuangong's father.
The other is his top disciple.
It's just that the elderly are limited in what they can do, and there is only so much they can teach. So later, he asked the eldest disciple to leave the village and go to the rivers and lakes to practice.
At that time, the old man's son also wanted to go out.
But the old man had no choice but to cherish his son, and he wanted to inherit the family business, so he had to give up this idea in the end.
Although the elder brother is gone, every once in a while, he will always come back to live for some time, tell you anecdotes about the rivers and lakes, and bring some local specialties to everyone.
After coming and going, Wu Yuangong's father was renewed.
The old man looked at it, it's not good, if it goes on like this, something will happen sooner or later.
In desperation, he had to discuss with the eldest apprentice.
