Chapter 18: The Sword Trick
In the morning, the sun has just risen, and there is a cool breath in the air, which can make you feel refreshed with just one breath.
In a small bamboo building in Zhu Chi Garden, a naked teenager is sitting quietly on a wooden bed without moving, like a statue of nature.
The boy didn't look like the son of a big family, his skin was a little dark, but it was a healthy black.
This young man is not very old, only ten years old, but between his eyebrows, he can't see the innocence that he should have at this age, but instead he is calm and indifferent.
The boy slowly opened his eyes, and there was a faint sense of loss in his eyes, but this look of loss quickly disappeared.
This young man is Han Ming, he has lived in this Zhu Chiyuan for more than two months, he has been practicing swords non-stop in the past two months, he stepped into the door of swordsmanship early, and began to change the invisible sword duel, but it is only limited to the practice of sword moves, and the internal strength of the inner strength with the invisible sword duel is really no time to practice.
Not only has Han Ming made a lot of progress in the Invisible Sword Duel, but he has also learned a lot of words and read a lot of books in the past two months, and he is now a scholar.
When learning words, his memory and understanding really surprised the old master who taught him to learn words, and even had the idea of accepting him as an apprentice, but he was rejected by Han Ming, and in the end, the old master could only regret that Han Ming only practiced martial arts and did not follow literature, otherwise he would definitely be a generation of Confucianism in the future!
Han Ming was also very surprised that his memory was so good, he didn't think it before, but now when he officially memorized the words of the sword moves, he found that his memory was far beyond ordinary people. Zhu Yiwen said that he had a good brain, but Han Ming faintly felt that his memory was so good that it was related to the nameless magic technique he cultivated.
Han Ming had not only revised the Invisible Sword Technique and learned a lot of words, but he had also thoroughly figured out the situation in this Zhu Chiyuan in the past two months.
In Huazhou and Luzhou, there are two powerful families, the Zhu family and the Chi family, these two families have been friends for generations, and jointly established this Zhu Chi Garden, which is used to cultivate the descendants of the two families and increase the relationship between the juniors.
In the five years that the juniors have stayed here, the first three years have chosen to be from business, literature or martial arts, and in these three years, the juniors will lay a good foundation for themselves. In the next two years, the juniors will each participate in some trials.
And the most honorable in this Zhu Chiyuan is, of course, the old lady of the Zhu family and the old lady of the Chi family, but under normal circumstances, these two noble family heads will not be in Zhu Chiyuan, but recently they have somehow arrived in Zhu Chiyuan.
The two old ladies usually do not manage the things in Zhu Chiyuan, and all chores are managed by the second master of the Chi family. This second old man, Chi Yuzhi, is the second son of the old lady of the Chi family, who is responsible for handling the shops of the Chi family, and is also a high-ranking person.
However, there is another very special existence in this Zhu Chiyuan, and that person is Hua Lao, the cheap master shared by Zhu Yiwen and Han Ming.
It is said that Hua Lao has lived here for more than ten years, and in the past ten years, whether it is the Zhu family or the Chi family, who knows that if they want to provoke him, they will have to fall into bad luck.
Hua Lao's status is very extraordinary, faintly no less than the two old ladies, even the second master of the Chi family, who is now managing Zhu Chiyuan, bowed respectfully when he saw Hua Lao, and then shouted Hua Lao.
There are also many young masters in Zhu Chiyuan, if Han Ming is also counted, there are a total of twenty-three young masters. The eldest of these young masters is already fifteen years old, and he will leave Zhu Chiyuan this year and return to his mansion. And the youngest are Zhu Yiwen and Han Ming, who just arrived here, and a young lady of the Chi family named Chi Yanyan.
Han Ming has seen that red smoke, with skin as crystal as jade, a delicate face, delicate facial features without a single flaw, big eyes and bright eyes, although he is still young, it can be seen that he must be a wonderful person who will captivate the country and the city when he grows up.
That day, Han Ming and Zhu Yiwen inadvertently bumped into Chi Yanyan who was picking flowers, Zhu Yiwen threw Han Ming aside very inauthentically, and volunteered to help.
The rise of Zhu Yiwen and that Chiyanyan play, and let Han Ming go back first, making Han Ming so angry, I really didn't expect it to be such a senior brother, and I forgot my junior brother when I saw it!
However, Han Ming had to admit that this Chi Yanyan and Zhu Yiwen were still very compatible, and the two stood together like a pair of fairy children and girls.
Recalling the experience of the past two months, Han Ming took a deep breath and spit out a long breath, he got up and put on his clothes, and glanced at Hua Lao's cave mansion as usual, and then pushed open the door and walked outside.
"Young master, get up!" Nan'er saw the young man coming down from upstairs and said gently, and then greeted him and handed over a three-foot Qingfeng, seeing that she had been waiting here.
Nan'er is wearing a green skirt, with a pale yellow short coat on the outside, and her black hair is naturally floating behind her back, although she is young, it is not difficult to see that she must be a big beauty in three or four years!
"You don't have to get up early and wait all the time, I'm fine!" Han Ming smiled at Nan'er.
"It's nothing, Nan'er just got up, and she didn't wait long. Nan'er lowered her head and looked quite respectful.
Nan'er still didn't know much about this young master in her heart, since she lived in the bamboo building, she hadn't had the opportunity to help Han Ming do anything, as if she wasn't Han Ming's personal maid at all.
Han Ming turned around and walked in the direction of the bamboo forest, where Senior Brother Qi should be dancing the sword at this hour.
In the past two months, during this time every morning, Senior Brother Qi would dance the sword in the bamboo forest, and after the sword dance, he would teach Han Ming some tips about sword duel, and each time he pointed out, it took Han Ming half a day to comprehend.
Senior Brother Qi's guidance over the past two months made Han Ming have to admit that Senior Brother Qi's attainments in swordsmanship are really amazing, I am afraid that he really has the level of a kendo master! Han Ming has completely improved by leaps and bounds under his guidance.
Han Ming's perception of swordsmanship has also deepened, only in terms of his perception of swordsmanship, Han Ming is confident that even ordinary guards are not comparable to him now, if his internal strength and strength can keep up, he is afraid that he can also be regarded as a second-rate master.
As soon as Han Mingfang entered the bamboo forest, he saw Senior Brother Qi slowly dancing a set of sword moves in the bamboo forest.
"Senior Brother Qi, when will you be able to teach me the Inner Strength Mental Technique to match with the Invisible Sword?" Han Ming asked when he saw Senior Brother Qi finish dancing a set of swords.
Han Ming's understanding of sword moves already has a certain degree of heat, what he lacks now is only internal strength true qi, if he has the internal force true qi behind him, he is also a master, so now he is very eager for the invisible sword to match the internal strength heart method.
In fact, Han Ming had tried to use the cool gas cultivated by the Nameless Technique to control the invisible sword moves, but it had no effect at all. He also used the true qi cultivated by Na Yuan Gong to control the invisible sword moves, although it had some effect, but that true qi was too weak, and it had no good effect.
"You come here, stretch out your hand, and I will take the pulse for you, calm your mind, and run Na Yuan Gong. Senior Brother Qi walked over slowly, his body was getting worse and worse, his face was getting whiter and whiter, and his body was getting weaker and weaker.
Han Ming was a little surprised when he heard Senior Brother Qi let him pass, but he immediately rolled up his sleeves and stepped forward, and began to silently run Na Yuan Gong, but the nameless speech was stopped, without leaking the slightest breath.
Senior Brother Qi closed his eyes and felt it carefully, then slowly let go of Han Ming's wrist and said slowly, "Do you know the difference between internal and external strength?"
Han Ming was stunned for a moment, very puzzled, why did this Senior Brother Qi ask about this, but Han Ming still didn't dare to slack off, and then replied: "The external strength is a move, and the internal strength is the true qi, and if you have enough true qi and then use the move, your strength will increase greatly." There is also a special kind of external skill that is horizontally refined, and it is amazingly powerful even if it does not require true qi when it is used. ”
Your answer is simple! The true qi cultivated by the ordinary internal strength method can control different external power moves. However, there are also some special internal strength and mental methods, and the cultivated true qi can only control the designated external power moves, and your Na Yuan Gong is one of them. Senior Brother Qi said slowly, as if he understood Na Yuangong very well.
Han Ming has been wondering about the function of this Na Yuan Gong, he once went to the Library Pavilion to find some information about Na Yuan Gong, but who would have thought that there was no internal strength of this Na Yuan Gong in the Library Pavilion at all!
"If you concentrate on cultivating Na Yuan Gong for more than ten years, you will be able to control the fine needle and kill people invisibly. But the real role of Na Yuangong is not fighting, but another role, and you will know it soon. Your current level of cultivation is already useful. Senior Brother Qi coughed lightly, and he slowly inserted the sword in his hand into the ground, holding it lightly with his left hand.
Han Ming listened quietly, without any interruption, Han Ming had cultivated some friendship with Senior Brother Qi after getting along for more than a month, and at this time, Han Ming was also sincerely worried about Senior Brother Qi's body.
"Remember, Huashi may find you soon, you have to try your best to help him, and it can be regarded as helping me, although the process may be very painful, but if you persevere, you will get great benefits. Senior Brother Qi patted Han Ming on the shoulder, and there was a hint in his eyes that Han Ming couldn't understand.
Han Ming didn't understand Senior Brother Qi's words, but he still nodded, he felt that Senior Brother Qi had no ill will towards him!
"You may not need to practice Na Yuan Gong right away, and I will pass on to you the internal strength and mental method that the Invisible Sword Duel is matched with. This invisible sword technique is very easy to cultivate, and when you have completed the cultivation of the three layers of internal skills of the sword technique, you can choose to cultivate other internal skills. Senior Brother Qi coughed violently and said intermittently.
"I'm afraid this is the last time you and I will see each other, and it's time for me to do something that needs to be done. Senior Brother Qi raised his head, there was a little more vicissitudes in his eyes, and there was some unwillingness, but then these expressions were replaced by a wave of determination.
This firmness Han Ming seemed to be familiar, he recalled it carefully, and found that on the moonlit night when he left home and traveled eastward, when he stepped on the official road, after he finally looked back at his small mountain village, he also had a similar firmness in his eyes, which was the persistence of going to the black.
Then Senior Brother Qi taught Han Ming the internal strength of the invisible swordsmanship, Han Ming's memory is still very strong, and he is familiar with it after repeating it a few times.
"The internal strength of this invisible sword technique is very similar to Na Yuan Gong, you can only control the unique sword style, the sword style and many changes of the invisible sword duel I have passed on to you, and you can only practice it yourself. ”
After Senior Brother Qi passed on the inner strength of the Invisible Sword Technique to Han Ming, he turned around and left slowly, he couldn't help coughing a few times on the way away, and his body became weaker and weaker, as if he could fall to the ground at any time.
Han Ming kept watching his figure disappear into the depths of the bamboo forest, and a trace of sadness couldn't help but flash in his heart, he didn't know what Senior Brother Qi was going to do, but he still knew something about Senior Brother Qi, Senior Brother Qi said that he might never see him again in the future, then he might really never see him again.
Since that day, Senior Brother Qi has disappeared from Zhu Chiyuan, and Han Ming has never seen him again.
And what is strange is that Zhu Chiyuan's high-level officials didn't care about Senior Brother Qi's disappearance, it seemed that there had never been such a person in Zhu Chiyuan, as if the person who disappeared was not a powerful leader at all, but just a small servant.
Senior Brother Qi's disappearance naturally made Han Ming a little uncomfortable for several days, after all, the two of them had been together for two months, and in the past two months, Senior Brother Qi had been trying his best to teach him swordsmanship, making him improve his swordsmanship greatly.
