Chapter Seventy-One: The Nature of Weapons

"Specially build a weapon for such true qi?" Leng Lanying was a little stunned.

Jiang Ming said: "It's not strange, some people like to use knives, some people like to use guns, some people like to use swords, we like weapons made of gold and iron, but southern Xinjiang likes weapons made of jade, and some people in the north will use wooden weapons, so that they can match their exercises." Weapons are for people, so what's so strange about creating special weapons for a special group?"

Leng Lanying was stunned, the simpler the truth, the easier it was to be ignored.

Of course, the main reason is that the weapons they use are too mature, whether it is a sword or a spear, they are all very mature weapons, and they can pick the most suitable ones from them, and it is difficult for the new weapon style to exceed the effect of the old weapon.

However, new means of combat have already appeared, so it is certainly natural to design a new weapon specifically for this.

Weapons have always been in the service of people.

Ling Xiyue suddenly thought of the weapons in Jiang Ming's scabbard: "Jiang Ming, didn't we come back with a lot of weapons? Maybe there are suitable ones among them, then we just need to build them according to the style." ”

When Jiang Ming heard this, he exclaimed: "You're still smart, then try it!"

So the four of them went to a large martial arts arena and began to take out weapons one by one.

When he saw the mountains of weapons, Yun Xuan said, "Shouldn't you have looted all the armories of the Four Domains?"

Ling Xiyue thought for a moment and said, "There are also those that have not been looted. ”

Leng Lanying was frightened: "With so many weapons, I try them one by one, and I will be tired to death." ”

Yun Xuan smiled and said, "Haven't you already publicized this method on a large scale?" Although there are not many people who have learned it, there are so many people who patrol the forest guards, and in general, there are still many people who have learned it. ”

Leng Lanying breathed a sigh of relief.

"However, the main attempt is still up to us. Ling Xiyue said, "Sister Lan Ying, give me that method!"

Leng Lanying nodded and reminded, "This method of polishing true qi takes time to accumulate. ”

Next, Yun Xuan went to gather the forest patrol guards who had learned to polish their true qi, while Leng Lanying taught Jiang Ming and Ling Xiyue how to polish their true qi.

Jiang Ming has been promoted to the Void Realm, communicating with the inner and outer worlds, and his perception of energy makes him very efficient in polishing his true qi, but it is also more likely to be polluted, and before solving this problem, there is always a limit to the true qi he polishes.

When the forest patrol guards began to try weapons one by one, Ling Xiyue made a new discovery:

"I found that although Lan Ying's method of polishing her true qi is different from mine, it is somewhat similar, her true qi is sharper, and mine is more penetrating, and these two can be superimposed. ”

"It can be stacked!" Jiang Ming's eyes lit up, if this was the case, then Ling Xiyue's attack power would be increased to a very terrifying level.

"Yes, and when you add it up, it seems that there is a new change. Ling Yi, wait a minute, use the horizontal knife style to block my knife!" Ling Xiyue ordered Ling Yi, who was testing weapons next to him.

"Yes, Miss. Ling Yi took the order and took a war knife.

Ling Xiyue slashed at Ling Yi with a gentle knife, and Ling Yi intercepted it with a horizontal knife as Ling Xiyue ordered.

At this time, Ling Xiyue stopped and said dissatisfiedly: "You have to intercept it with all your strength, and the strength of Gang Jin must not only penetrate the long knife, but also protect your body." ”

"Yes!" Although Ling Yi was a little puzzled, he was also a person who knew the strength of the eldest lady, so he was not careless.

Ling Xiyue still used an ordinary knife for exercises to lightly slash, and Ling Yi resisted with all his strength, but when the two knives touched, Ling Yi's face suddenly changed, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

Ling Yi tore open his clothes in disbelief, and there was actually a knife mark inside.

"The knife marks are sharp, but they are also easy to treat, go for treatment!" Yun Xudu reminded, "After healing, remember to tell us how you feel." ”

"Yes!" Ling Yi ordered to retreat.

"Xiyue, how did you do it just now?" Jiang Ming asked.

Hearing Jiang Ming's question, all the people present looked at Ling Xiyue.

Ling Xiyue explained, "I just condensed the True Qi to the extreme, and then used the penetrating power to directly penetrate his long knife and body. ”

Everyone was silent, what she said was simple, but it was certainly not so easy to do.

So Ling Xiyue can only let people experience it through demonstrations again and again.

There are several reasons why humans need weapons:

The first is to make up for the lack of their own attack distance, which is a very important reason, even with the ability to release true qi, the role of the weapon is irreplaceable, and the cohesion of the true qi release is always not as strong as the weapon.

The second is the attribute of sharpness, the same force condensed in the palm or fist, it is definitely not as good as condensed on the knife, and the sharper tip is easier to break through the opponent's body.

The third is to take the damage instead, hit the stone with your fist, your fist will hurt very much, but hitting the stone with a wooden stick will only make your hand numb, if you throw it directly with the stone, then the rebound damage will not fall on your hand at all.

Therefore, weapons are ultimately at the service of human beings, and they can satisfy the shortcomings of human beings and make up for their shortcomings.

And the essence of Ling Xiyue's true qi is a direct attack, inanimate matter can only be used as a conductive effect, whether it is a knife or air, it can be directly penetrated, just like no matter how strong the cloth clothes are, they can't stop the hammer, even if the hammer can't blow your clothes through, it can hurt the people inside through the clothes.

"Why, then, can a sword penetrate, but the human body is harmed?" a bystander asked.

Ling Xiyue explained: "Because the structure of the sword is too simple, it will not be weakened much when it passes, but the structure of the human body is too complex, and it will destroy the structure of the true qi, and then explode in the body. ”

Everyone knows that this is a method that does not have high attack power, but it is very powerful against living beings.

After understanding this, Jiang Ming sighed: "I still have an impact on you after all. ”

Ling Xiyue was silent.

The essence of martial arts is to kill, and the essence of weapons is to assist in killing, and it was precisely because she was awakened by Jiang Ming that she created this trick through the combination of Leng Lanying and her own true qi.

"Is there any requirement for this move other than talent?" asked Yun Xudu.

Ling Xiyue said: "Yes, the true qi must be pure, and it cannot contain qi and blood, so the true yuan realm must purify its true qi to the point where there is no qi and blood." ”

"Isn't that the real liquid?" Jiang Ming asked.

"It's not a real liquid, although the true element is very similar to the real liquid after purification, but it's still different. ”

Ling Xiyue thought for a moment and seemed to be thinking about how to describe it, "The purified true element seems to be tougher than the true liquid, so it can be more condensed. ”

"It's like a cultivator, even if the cultivation of the whole body is abolished, the body still strengthens a lot?" Jiang Ming originally thought of a more vulgar metaphor, but after thinking about it, he still replaced it with this.

Ling Xiyue's eyes lit up: "Yes, that's it, the qi and blood enter the true qi to increase the power, but at the same time, it will also cause the true qi to stagnate, and the power seems to be a little weaker after removal, but after the addition of special means, it is stronger." ”

Jiang Ming suddenly thought of something and asked, "Where did your purified qi and blood go?"

"Of course it's consumed. Ling Xiyue said as a matter of course.

Jiang Ming said: "In the future, you can try to see if you can return the refined qi and blood to the five internal organs and enter the five qi circulation." I suspect that doing so may cause some reinforcement to the body as well. ”

"Is this okay?" Ling Xiyue was a little skeptical, "Shouldn't some key things be consumed after the qi and blood strengthen the true qi?

In her opinion, this is like giving money to others, and then her own money increases, which is impossible unless you get it from the outside world.

"Not an enhancement, but a change. ”

Jiang Ming corrected, "Qi and blood make the true qi tougher, but the strength is enhanced by the process you use yourself, just like weaving a knot with silk threads, which does not mean that the silk thread is the essence of the knot, in this process, human weaving occupies the main credit." ”

Ling Xiyue nodded in understanding.

Seeing that Ling Xiyue understood a little, Jiang Ming continued to add: "Since qi and blood can cause changes to true qi, then qi and blood itself must also have changed, of course, whether this change is good or bad is still unknown, it can only be said that it is possible, which requires our continuous attempt." ”
