Chapter 129: Buying a sword
After sending Hu Yuanwai away, Chen Tang returned to the room and opened "King Kong Finger" first to learn finger skills.
Kung Fu is the most difficult to practice to the fingers.
However, he has the spirit of heaven and man, and he has hardly encountered many difficulties and obstacles.
After reading all the secrets, I had an estimate in my heart: this martial art, at the level of level, is better than the "Wind and Thunder Leg Method".
At the same time, he knew the value of the secret. The three thousand dollars collected by Hu Yuan must have been discounted.
Regardless of whether it is Hu Buregret's instruction: if you get favors, you must be clear in your heart.
After learning the finger skills, the name of "Eight Techniques" is no longer applicable. To change, change it to a nine-character prefix:
"Jiuyang Divine Skill"?
The name is domineering enough, but it's a bit unworthy of the name, negative.
In the end, Chen Tang decided on one, which still belongs to the plain style: "Nine Extreme Techniques".
The most important thing is called "extreme", which represents the pursuit of martial arts, and they are all moves, which belong to the category of "technique".
This set of martial arts was born from different secrets, but after extraction and kneading, and tempering several times, it can be regarded as Chen Tang's self-creation.
At present, "Nine Extreme Techniques" is still a bit stiff and immature, and there is still huge room for improvement and promotion.
This requires a lot of actual combat experience and a sense of the enemy.
Chen Tang is not in a hurry, anyway, now is to set the framework and lay a good foundation.
The Taoist temple is narrow, and if you want to practice, you can only do it in the courtyard. However, there are no trees to be used as imaginary enemies here, and there is a lack of martial arts training environment. He thought about going out of the city, into the wilderness, and finding a good place.
However, the distance is not close, once out and again, the time is too late, so be prepared to spend the night in the wilderness.
After practicing "King Kong Finger", I went to practice "Grass Swordsmanship".
The reckless, the horseman.
The puppet was furious, and blood splattered five steps.
These words are the essence of this swordsmanship.
As Hu Yuanwai introduced, this swordsmanship is a killer move.
In fact, on the secret note, what is repeatedly emphasized is to break the limitations of moves, and strive to be simple and practical, fast, accurate, and ruthless.
A sword that can kill the enemy is a good sword.
Chen Tang thought deeply of this point of view and recognized it very much, he felt that the highest level of swordsmanship was probably the clichΓ©: there is no trick to win, there is a move.
Therefore, the practice and correction of this sword technique is to go in this direction.
Compared with fist and foot kung fu, swordsmanship is more difficult to learn and more difficult to recreate. After all, weapons, not part of the body, belong to foreign objects.
In some romances, a sentence is often mentioned to describe someone's skill, saying that he is "eighteen kinds of weapons, all skillful", and those who can do this step are indeed very powerful.
To learn a sword, you must first have a sword.
Chen Tang now has money and can go to buy a sword.
The capital is so big, of course, there are armory shops.
On this day, after asking many people, Chen Tang found an armory shop called "Shengji".
In the capital, this shop is somewhat famous, and the forged weapons are quite sophisticated.
However, weapons and the like are not something that can be bought casually, and most of them belong to controlled products. Broadsword and spear, more severe. As for the bows and crossbows, if they are caught by the government, they will be charged with "rebellion" and will be killed.
Of course, in recent years, the current situation has been turbulent and riots have occurred frequently, and many people in the rivers and lakes have walked with weapons, and the government has not been able to control them at all; and some famous families and large families have even been able to privately raise their families, take care of their homes, and wield knives and guns, and they are already suspected of being private soldiers.
"Childe, but do you want to buy a sword?"
A running hall in the shop greeted him and greeted him warmly. He could see at a glance that Chen Tang was a scholar, probably a talent. Because if it is a lifter, there must be a scholar to follow.
According to the law, only by raising people's fame can they wear swords, and show is not allowed. But the execution of these laws and regulations will never be perfect, and there are always many flaws and loopholes for people to drill.
Chen Tang showed his famous book and said, "Yes, I want to buy a sword." β
Seeing the famous book, Runtang's attitude became more enthusiastic: "Childe, please come with me." β
With Chen Tang, he entered a room, where there were more than a dozen swords with a handle, and they were all matched, with scabbards and other things. Many sword handles are also tied with beautiful tassels and the like.
Seeing this, Chen Tang frowned, he didn't like it, and felt that those decorations were flashy and useless.
"Childe, please look at this sword, it weighs six taels and eight points, it is forged with empty iron, and the style is beautiful and generous......"
Rantang picked up a sword and enthusiastically introduced it.
Chen Tang took it and held it in his hand, it was light and fluttering, there was no weight at all, the two edges were blunt, and it was okay to cut tofu. He understood what he meant, so he said, "What I want to buy is a real sword, not these." β
"Oh, I see, I'm sorry. β
ran away and quickly apologized.
Generally speaking, how many people really practice martial arts? are embroidered pillows, buy a sword to wear, it is equivalent to an ornament, naturally to pick a light buy, as for practicality, do not consider it at all. Some people were even more outrageous, even carrying wooden swords with them.
Subconsciously, Ran Tang thought that Chen Tang was the same.
After knowing that he had made a mistake, he hurriedly took Chen Tang to another room.
As soon as he entered, Chen Tang sensed a sense of tranquility, and saw a sword weapon on display, with a cold edge shining.
These are the real swords.
Immediately walked up and began to choose.
The industrial level of this time and space can only be said to be average, wrought iron and steel smelting, and there is a lack of technology, but the sword weapon forged by this Shengji is indeed not bad. Although it can't be called a "sword", it is excellent for the standard technology.
It didn't take long for Chen Tang to choose a sword, about two feet eight minutes long, and the weight was just right, not light or heavy.
Reaching out and flicking it at the sword, it made a loud sound, and its sound was agitated.
With a sword in his hand, his hand was itchy, and he immediately stabbed out with a sword, sneering at the air, with his own momentum, and he was so frightened that he ran away from the hall, and secretly said in his heart: It turns out that this son is really a master, and he is not a showman......
Chen Tang was very satisfied and asked, "Man, how did you sell this sword?"
After seeing the sword just now, where did he dare to ask for an empty price, so he said: "This sword sells for three hundred yuan." β
"Okay, I bought it. β
Chen Tang was not verbose, and went to pick out a pair of skin-swallowing scabbards.
The young man of the rivers and lakes, the son of the brother, likes to make a fuss on the scabbard, and the inlay is very jeweled, which is very dazzling. Those scabbards are extremely expensive, and often the sword is much more valuable, which can really be called putting the cart before the horse.
Chen Tang doesn't get those fancy things, just buy a sturdy and durable one.
"Childe walks slowly. β
ran to send Chen Tang out, and then came back.
With a sword in hand and everything ready, it's time to practice. After you are proficient in practice, look for opportunities to practice.
The next day, Chen Tang packed up and told the Futu Daoist that he carried a book on his back, wore a sword weapon at his waist, and went out of the city to find a place to practice "Nine Extreme Techniques" and "Grass Swordsmanship".
Regarding his travel, Futu Daoist ignored it, and replied "um", and continued to sleep on his own and fight his worms.
