Chapter 9: School Competition
Since the last defeat of Cao's army, Xinye has gained temporary peace. Xu Shu became popular and his reputation rose sharply, and Zhao Yun also stayed in Fancheng for more than ten days in a row, doing nothing but daily practice. Ever since he saw Zhiming's skills, he has always wanted to find an opportunity to learn from him. He is more competitive.
On this day, Zhao Yun was really idle, so he called Liu Feng, Liu Yu's righteous son, and wanted to learn martial arts with him.
Liu Feng is also a person who practices martial arts, and has admired Zhao Yun's name for a long time, and was a little flattered when he was called, saying: "Thanks to General Zhao's love, I feel that my martial arts are not proficient, and I am afraid that the general will be disappointed." ”
Zhao Yun was modest: "Where, I'm not a martial arts master, let's just take a few moves and learn from each other." ”
Liu Feng hugged his fists and said, "Since this is the case, then please ask General Zhao for more guidance!"
The two came to the school grounds. There were soldiers practicing formations around, and when they saw that they were going to compete, they all came over to see the excitement. Obviously, everyone was interested in Zhao Yun's martial arts.
Zhao Yun raised the silver spear, pointed the head of the spear at Liu Feng, and said, "You're welcome, just let the horse come." ”
"Then offend!" Liu Feng pulled out his sword, closed his eyes and took a breath, and slashed straight at the sword.
Zhao Yun was not in a hurry, and stabbed straight through. Before Liu Feng's sword could be chopped down, Zhao Yun's spear had already touched his Adam's apple. Liu Feng was startled, and the sword in his hand stopped in mid-air.
Zhao Yun gently pushed him back with the tip of his gun and said, "Pay attention to observing the opponent's weapons, analyze the advantages and disadvantages of the enemy and us, and don't attack blindly." ”
Liu Feng nodded thoughtfully and took a few steps back. Judging from the first move alone, the difference in strength between the two sides is quite obvious. Liu Feng's hand holding the sword trembled a little, but it was difficult to admit defeat in front of everyone, so he had to rush over again.
Zhao Yun stabbed straight over, Liu Feng flashed sideways and leaned down, slashing at his waist with a sword.
Zhao Yun knew that the waist was a difficult part to defend, but he didn't panic and quickly moved the hilt of the gun down 45 degrees to block his sword.
Liu Feng turned around sharply and flashed behind him, stabbing with a sword. Zhao Yun didn't look back, and directly pushed the handle of the gun back, hitting him in the abdomen. Before the blade touched Zhao Yun, Liu Feng had already been knocked out and fell to the ground.
Zhao Yun turned around and said, "Come again." Remember, you can't take the enemy lightly at any time. ”
Liu Feng quickly got up, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said, "General Zhao's martial arts are really strong. ”
The surrounding soldiers were stunned.
Liu Feng shouted and used a series of sword attacks. Zhao Yun raised his gun with one hand, blocked left and right, and intercepted all attacks effortlessly.
In the end, Liu Feng rose into the air, and a high split attacked. Zhao Yun saw the opportunity and flashed behind him with an arrow step. When Liu Feng just landed, the silver spear had already reached his neck, but he hadn't reacted yet.
The soldiers let out exclamations and applauded one after another, and Liu Feng also bowed to the wind and sighed to himself.
After the competition, the two went back to the backyard to drink. Liu Feng sighed with deep emotion: "I thought my martial arts were okay, but after competing with the general today, I found that it was still far from it." ”
Zhao Yun poured wine for him and said, "Your martial arts are not weak, it's just that you don't have enough actual combat experience and can't adapt to changes." In martial arts, we should not only pay attention to one move and one style, but also recognize the strengths of the opponent and our own weaknesses, and learn from each other's strengths, because the moves used to deal with different opponents are also different. For example, if you deal with a skinny person, you can knock him down with your fists, but against a beast, you have to use a weapon, because its weapons are sharp teeth and claws, and it will not necessarily be afraid of your fists. If the weapon you just chose was a spear, I might not have won so easily. ”
Liu Feng nodded with deep understanding. Zhao Yun patted him on the shoulder and said, "As long as you cultivate more, you will surpass me sooner or later." ”
Liu Feng smiled bitterly and said, "In this projectile land, how can I cultivate? Actually, I also want to do a great job with you, it's too boring to stay in Fancheng!"
"Don't say that, I think you're quite talented, let's stay here and help you godfather, you will be the county magistrate in the future. ”
"Alas, what's the use of being a county order? As soon as the imperial court's army comes, the county order becomes an ornament. ”
"Don't say that, those court officials also started from a young age. The career cannot be achieved overnight, only slowly tempered, gradually improved, and must not be in a hurry, otherwise the desire will not be reached. To be a man is like taking the stairs, one step at a time, seeking stability rather than speed. When you reach the highest point, it can be rewarding to look back at the footprints you left on each step. Zhao Yun enlightened him.
Liu Feng felt that chatting with Zhao Yun was very interesting and benefited a lot. Cheers to two.
At this time, the letter from Shinno came. After reading the letter, Zhao Yun jumped up with joy, it was Liu Bei's recall order, and Liu Feng was also happy for him.
Zhao Yunxing said angrily: "Gongzhong (Liu Feng's character), please tell your godfather for me, I will go back today, and by the way, help me prepare a small boat." ”
After everything was ready, Liu Fengmu sent Zhao Yun across the river. Zhao Yun waved goodbye.
Back in Xinye, Zhao Yun first went to the county government to report to Liu Bei, and then went to find Zhiming. Zhiming was studying fighting moves with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei on the school grounds, and there were some soldiers practicing knives and guns around.
Zhiming was showing the two of them the initial results of his qi pulse practice, and he struck a slight palm qi forward, although it was not very lethal, but it still shattered the bamboo pole five meters away. The two clapped their hands.
Suddenly, seeing Zhao Yun coming over, Zhiming said happily: "Brother Zilong, you're back!"
"Yes, if I don't come back, I'm really going to suffocate myself. Zhao Yun joked.
"It's not that exaggerated, isn't there anyone drinking with you over there?" Zhang Fei asked.
"It's not a way to drink every day, you have to stretch your bones, right?" said Zhao Yun as he moved his arms.
"Brother Zilong, aren't you in a hurry to come back to me to learn martial arts?" Zhiming blurted out.
Zhao Yun was stunned for a moment, and said, "Yes, yes, how do you know? If it weren't for the lord asking me to stay in Fancheng, I would have come to you a long time ago." ”
“... In this way, today is a must-fight. Zhiming pretended to be helpless.
Zhang Fei clapped his palms: "There is a good show to watch now!"
As soon as they said that, they came to a clearing. Zhang Feigang wanted to run to the weapon rack to get a weapon, but Zhiming grabbed him and said, "Brother Zilong, why don't you compare your fists and feet today?"
Zhao Yun was stunned for a moment and said, "Okay, it's up to you." ”
It turned out that Zhiming was worried that Zhao Yun's marksmanship was excellent and he would suffer a loss; if he tried his fists and feet, he should not lose, after all, he had been practicing martial arts for many years. He thought that if he defeated the opponent with his fists today, even if he lost with his weapon next time, it would be considered a draw.
The two stood facing each other ten meters apart, gearing up and eager to try, while Guan Yu and Zhang Fei watched the battle from the sidelines.
After concentrating on the anger, the two sides began to make moves...... Thirty rounds of fighting in one go, no matter how good or inferior.
Zhao Yun slapped Zhiming's chest with a palm, Zhiming squatted suddenly, and a "sweeping mantis leg" swept him over.
Zhao Yun stood up with a "carp fight" and kicked over with a fatal leg. Zhiming resisted with both hands, but the powerful foot force shook him out more than ten meters away.
Both sides were so tired and out of breath that neither of them would admit defeat, and the audience was also nervous, and Zhang Fei even sweated.
Zhiming thought: "I miscalculated, I didn't expect Zhao Yun's fist and foot kung fu to be so sharp, except for the master, I have never met such a strong opponent, it seems that I am going to use a special move." ”
Zhao Yun thought: "This kid has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and it is difficult to win in ordinary moves, it seems that he can..."
"Strike first, come first!" Zhiming shouted, unleashing the Shadowless Fist, and countless fists struck like a thousand needles.
Zhao Yun was dazzled, and countless fist shadows attacked like thousands of horses covering the sky and the sun, and his head, chest, and abdomen were hit one after another. Zhiming took advantage of the victory to pursue, unceremoniously.
Zhao Yun was beaten continuously, thinking: "What a powerful punch! Not only is it fast, but it also has a very strong attack power, I can't resist it......!"
Zhiming thought as he fought, "Master hasn't had time to tell me about the weakness of Shadowless Fist, but in my opinion... Oh no, it's in ......."
"The weakness is at your feet!" Zhao Yun shouted, leaning over and shoveling over.
Zhiming's center of gravity was in the upper part, and he suddenly couldn't stand on his feet and fell.
Zhao Yun quickly grabbed one of his feet and threw it with all his might. Zhiming was thrown out, and after spinning in the air a few times, he landed steadily back to the ground - Aerial Technique.
Zhao Yun saw him standing unharmed, and said in great surprise: "I didn't expect that in addition to martial arts, you are also very powerful. I'm underestimating you so much, it looks like I'm going to have to get serious. ”
Zhiming wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "The warm-up exercise is over here, you can start." ”
"Ha!" Zhao Yun shouted excitedly, and his martial heart was awakened.
Zhao Yun took the initiative to attack, a right punch hit, Zhiming blocked with his left palm, and the punch suddenly turned into an elbow sweep, and Zhiming was swept in the face and leaned to the right.
Zhao Yun grabbed his wrist to prevent him from falling, and then quickly ran behind him and used the "throat lock technique". Zhiming's neck is locked up.
"This move is an effective move to quickly defeat the enemy!" Zhao Yun's arm strength was very strong, and Zhiming felt that it was difficult to breathe.
Zhao Yun thought he had subdued him, but Zhiming kept slamming his ribs with his left elbow. Zhiming has developed a body of steel in Helong Mountain, and his elbow strikes can shatter rocks.
Zhao Yun finally couldn't resist it and let go of his hand. Zhiming took advantage of the situation and kicked back, and Zhao Yun grabbed his ankle.
Zhiming improvised, did a front flip, lifted his heel up, and kicked him in the chin. Zhao Yun fell in response.
Zhiming turned around abruptly and shoveled it away. Zhao Yun didn't care about the pain, a backroll flashed, quickly got up, and swept away with a "cross-cut leg". Zhiming shrank back, dodging the attack.
Zhao Yun covered his injured ribs, knelt down on one leg, and the beads of sweat on his face fell straight down, it seemed that he had been hit by Zhiming's elbow just now and had internal injuries.
Zhiming is also very martial artistic, and he will not take advantage of people's danger, but wait for his opponent to stand up. Of course, he also retained some strength just now, after all, this is a competition, not a real battle.
After a while, Zhao Yun finally relented, stood up and said, "Okay, it's really good! ”
He closed his right fist, stretched out only his index finger and middle finger, and said, "Do you know, I can concentrate the strength of my whole body on these two fingers, this is the 'two finger gong' of the Zhao family's ancestor." ”
"May it be taught. "Zhiming is ready to defend.
Zhao Yun rushed over and thrust his two fingers straight into his chest. Zhiming's eyes were quick and he held his two fingers with his palms.
Zhao Yun's two fingers began to exert force, and the index finger and middle finger were spread to the left and right sides respectively, and Zhiming's palms were stretched apart little by little.
"What a big finger power!" Zhiming was taken aback and took a few steps back.
Zhao Yun continued to pursue, and his two fingers stabbed like a spear. Zhiming dodged quickly.
Zhao Yun chased after him, but Zhiming finally didn't dodge, and was hit in the left shoulder. He suddenly felt a sharp pain in his shoulder, and the whole person fell backwards.
Zhao Yun stopped attacking and waited for him to stand up, after all, the other party also let him go with him just now.
Zhiming's first feeling when he stood up was that his left shoulder was dislocated, and it seemed that the power of the two fingers was really not covered. He moved his shoulders, barely moving.
Zhao Yun said in surprise: "If it were an ordinary person, your shoulders would have been wasted a long time ago, but you can still move, I really admire it." ”
Zhiming used the "molarization method" that his master had taught him to restore the bones in his left shoulder to its original position. He rubbed his injured shoulder and said, "I'm fine, keep coming!"
"Then you're welcome!" Zhao Yun continued to use his two fingers.
Zhiming has been on the defensive and has not been able to counter-attack effectively. The second finger hit him again, this time in the chest, but he was prepared and blocked it with hard qigong.
Zhao Yun was taken aback, he didn't expect that there would be someone who could resist this move.
Zhiming took advantage of his unpreparedness and struck him with a "floating palm" and hit him in the lower abdomen. Zhao Yun obviously also practiced hard qigong, and he easily dissolved the palm qi.
Zhao Yun continued to attack, and his moves were powerful. Zhiming blocked left and right, and did not dare to relax at all.
"Two-finger Gong and Shadowless Fist are the same truth, and their weakness is in the feet!" Zhiming suddenly came to his senses while resisting, and slammed a sweeping mantis leg.
Zhao Yun quickly jumped into the air, but unexpectedly, Zhiming suddenly propped up on the ground with both hands, stretched his legs up, and suddenly his body stood upside down, with his legs facing his abdomen.
Zhao Yun was taken aback. Zhiming put his hands on the ground hard, his body bounced up, and his legs kicked heavily in his lower abdomen. Zhao Yun flew out of the distance and fell heavily to the ground, this is not simple, he struggled for a long time and didn't get up. The winner seems to be decided?
