In the early morning, the morning sun is rising.

The grass outside the tent was still stained with last night's raindrops.

Dong Dilang got out of the tent and saw the figure bathed in the golden red sunlight at a glance.

Liu Tugou turned around and smiled brightly at the son of the school captain: "Practice swordsmanship?"

Without waiting for Dong Dilang to answer, the second master had already rushed forward brazenly, using his palm as a knife and stabbing fiercely.

The surface of his palm knife was not obvious, but the complicated palm prints suddenly lit up, as if flowing with red blood that was condensed like substance.

The strange red light spread to the back of the hand through the palm prints, and quickly smudged the palm into a whole crystal clear red jade.

Dong Dilang retreated like a frightened rabbit as early as when Lord Qi showed a smile, and at the same time suddenly remembered the tragic fact that he didn't bring a knife when he came out of the tent, and the son of the captain immediately showed a heroic expression of generosity to death.

The red jade blade with his face pierced his chest, he bent his arms slightly, and a pair of flawless white jade palm knives shimmered with a crystal light, staggering one palm obliquely and one palm upward, making a move like a seal, wanting to suck Liu Tugou's wrist and forearm at the same time.

Breaking through to the realm of Qi Training, Dong Dilang's jade cutting knife has reached a higher level.

Liu Tugou laughed, and did not fight hard with Dong Dilang's palm knife that he had practiced for more than ten years, but his wrist suddenly shrank and stretched, and at the same time he bent his fingers into claws while getting out of the double knife cage, and bit one of the opponent's wrists with his backhand, and the light of blood and qi spread rapidly towards Dong Dilang's palm.

The strength between the claws spit out, and immediately made Dong Dilang's strength disappear, Liu Tugou forcefully took the back and punched the opponent's face, knocking the son of the captain off guard to the ground.

Dong Dilang got up and rubbed his face, his face was neither swollen nor bruised, it can be seen that the thickness of his face is extraordinary, but his slightly dark and reddened face seems to be darker again.

The son of the lieutenant said with a sad and indignant face: "Isn't it a test of sword skills?"

Liu Tugou, who was in a good mood after the victory, glanced at him obliquely, grinned, and showed a mouthful of fine white teeth: "Ah, I changed my mind when I saw your sword skills greatly improved." You are also really simple, you believe everything, I think it's a long life. ”

Dong Dilang is also a bachelor, knowing that he can't afford to hide, so he turned around and went back to the tent and sat down cross-legged, pulled out a knife and cut it on his forehead, it seemed that it was not too late to prepare for a gentleman's revenge for ten years.

His knife is twice as wide as the embroidered spring knife, and the wider it reaches the tip, which is obviously not conducive to stabbing, but suitable for chopping, and is said to be an imitation of the jade cutting knife at home.

Yang Xiong happily carried the cold iron long halberd past Dong Dilang's tent, and shouted as he walked: "The little ones are all rolling up, don't miss the good time to practice, haven't you seen Dong Shichang not measure his strength and be beaten by Mr. Qi's shouting board, learn a little! The opportunity for Mr. Qi to teach by hand is so precious, don't miss it." ”

There are common martial arts in the Great Zhou army, ordinary soldiers can practice, and the most common is the Tongjian fist that Liu Tugou is very familiar with, and the knife law is a hundred refining knife techniques that focus on actual combat

The so-called hundred refinements, in addition to the meaning of being tempered thousands of times in the battlefield, but also because everyone will make their own changes in the sword techniques of each army and guard, and the moves are still the same from generation to generation, and the remote styles are very different, and there is a flourishing scene of a hundred flowers blooming.

It is said that Xiuchunwei had a set of extremely sharp knife techniques back then, and Weizhong's own name was the river crossing knife method. This name is not domineering when you listen to it, but if you think about it carefully, you will feel extraordinary.

After crossing the river, the only way to fight is to fight to the death.

Because of the general effect of forging the body and building the foundation, even in the folk there are many spreads, the murderous law of the hundred refining knives is strictly controlled, many veterans no longer use the knife after returning to their hometowns, but make a slight adaptation, turn into a palm method to use, it is not uncommon in gang fights, such as the opening of the monument of the banner gate can not get out of this way, and the Dong family cutting jade knife has become a peerless study passed down from generation to generation.

Sang Yuan was the only one in the Fourth Banner who knew the Hundred Refining Sword Technique, and the guy who taught the recruits was naturally handed over to him.

Sang Yuan now also has the cultivation of the initial realm of Qi training, and there is a little shadow of the Demon Gate on his body, and the professor is still competent in his arm fist, after all, the whole banner has cultivated a more subtle contemplation method, and it is best to complement each other inside and outside, and it doesn't hurt if he can't practice it.

But when he taught the sword technique, there were some obstacles, the first Dengwei was the first to be the first to ascend, and the hundred refining knives that were passed on were naturally extremely fierce, and they were the best at quick battles and quick battles, winning more with less, but they had passed on to the present, because the good and bad of the soldiers were uneven, and they gradually lost the grandeur of seizing the city, and mixed with a lot of roundabout and cunning flavors, and in the hands of Sang Yuan, it became more and more treacherous, more vicious and spicy, and less powerful.

The two words seem to be not very different, but this difference will create two sets of different styles of knife techniques, if someone is lucky enough to get a trace of inspiration with knife skills in the future, the artistic conception of achievement will only be far away.

So Liu Tugou had to go down in person and teach the sword-breaking method widely, trying to integrate the two sets of knife techniques.

This is the second master's consistent routine, as for whether in the end it is to promote each other's strengths and avoid weaknesses to create a set of hundred refining knives that do not lose the legendary river-crossing knife method, or to make a whole four-like appearance, it is unknown, after all, even the second master himself has always crossed the river by feeling the stones.

"My lord, what exactly is foundation building, what is qi training?"

After finishing the early morning meditation practice, Xu Dongjiang opened his eyes and asked.

The position of the young man has been moved to the first row in front of Liu Tugou, and everyone takes it for granted.

His realm was just between foundation building and qi training, and he couldn't help but be puzzled in his heart: "Since, as the adults said, the foundation building realm forging body cultivation and the qi training realm swallowing and absorbing qi, the two are obviously not contradictory, why should the strong be separated from the strong and weak before and after?

Liu Tugou smiled and said: "Building a foundation and practicing qi, in fact, there is no end, and it can never be said to be cultivated, the reason why it was used by Taoist monks to name these two realms and spread widely, even the martial artists in the army are willing to quote it, except for the clear and easy to understand division, it is really because it is too important." However, when it comes to the cultivation of different families, there is no uniform standard because of the different means......"

He looked at the soldier who was also listening carefully, and his heart moved slightly, since he was a grandmaster, he shouldn't be a mistaken child, right?

This thought flashed away, and Liu Tugou quickly came back to his senses and continued: "For example, the slaughter forging technique created by me is to introduce the golden qi forging body through the painstaking quenching of the knife, and at the same time visualize the heart knife to contain the sword qi, which can be called the simultaneous development of foundation building qi refining, which is indescribably dangerous. Although this method is achieved quickly, the requirements for physical fitness and comprehension are extremely high, and it is difficult for the forging body and the heart casting knife to enter the realm at the same time, and if you are not careful, you will go mad and die!"

This has to mention Liu Tugou's own cultivation, which seems to be as simple and casual as eating and drinking, but in fact, it has already been in crisis.

Practicing Qi from the foundation is because of the success of forging the body and the epiphany of the disease and the tiger swallowing the sky, breaking through the whole body in one breath and achieving it, it is considered to have enough savings, but it is not sufficient, fortunately, the three forms of the sick tiger forging body that are becoming more and more perfect are remarkable, and they can be slowly checked and filled.

Breaking through the inspiration is too lucky, the effect of the sick tiger swallowing the sky is magical, you can swallow a pseudo peak of qi cultivation in one bite, but it can't be absorbed by the body, except for the part that is refined into the heart knife, the rest can only escape out of the body again, but it can finally barely reach the level of touch inspiration in a short period of time.

In terms of perception, Liu Tugou was strongly stimulated by Lu Jue's Wailing Ten Thousand Ancient Knife to open Tianmen Mountain, and then fought with Pei Dongting, and the faint illusory induction sublimated between life and death, compared to the inspiration oppression of the sun, moon, galaxy, and Tianzhu beings, even if Pei Dongting is also not deeply rooted, he is still vulnerable, and he is almost in a desperate situation.

However, the second master touched the scene, tried his best to open the door of heaven with a shallow understanding of the artistic conception of the knife, and turned into a violent inspiration for the butcher's knife to cut the pillar of heaven and break through, which is really a miracle of fate and a result of various coincidences. In the final analysis, it is still a serious lack of accumulation of heritage, like a castle in the air, and it is not stable.

Inspired by the fight with Xu Xun at the beginning, the butcher knife and Tianzhu were still almost overturned by Xu Xun, and it was thanks to the sick tiger divine will that he had the most perception and was used most frequently at the critical moment, and it was just like crushing Xu Xun's big moonlight wheel.

Liu Tugou stumbled all the way, and the strange danger of the situation was really indescribable.
