Chapter 32: The Silver Needle
Early the next morning, Lin Yan didn't get up because he slept late last night, he went to the back mountain to cultivate for an hour as usual, and he was still full of energy.
After coming back for breakfast, he came to Li Chunfeng's house again, and after saluting, Li Chunfeng asked, "How is the acupoint?"
"I already know a little bit about it. ”
"Can it correspond to your own body?"
"There's nothing wrong with those simple ones. ”
"Yes. Li Chunfeng nodded, "You just came into contact with these things, don't worry, just take your time, if you don't understand, come and ask me." ”
"Okay, if the disciple doesn't understand, he will definitely ask the master for advice. ”
"Your triangular dart has been practiced very well, I'll teach you the hidden weapon of the needle next, you come with me." After speaking, Li Chunfeng took Lin Yan to the previous room, took out a box of silver needles, and still came to the shooting range.
"The silver needle is different from the triangular dart, although most of the hidden weapons are wrist force, the triangular dart requires the rotation speed, when the speed is fast enough, its power can be revealed, and the silver needle is fast, all other skills are not necessary for the needle, as long as you are fast enough. ”
As soon as the words fell, I saw Li Chunfeng raise his hand, and three silver needles were connected into a line, all of which shot at the eyebrows of the humanoid target a hundred meters away.
"You can try it, but fortunately the silver needle is not like a triangular dart, so it won't hurt your hand, haha. ”
Lin Yan touched his nose, it was rare to see Li Chunfeng joking with himself, he also took out a silver needle from the box, tried to exert force with his wrist, and shot the needle out.
As expected, Lin Yan had just started to contact needle-type hidden weapons, and he couldn't grasp the mystery of them, he aimed at the target that was directly opposite him, but the silver needle shot out was far away from the target.
Lin Yan glanced at Li Chunfeng with some embarrassment, the latter was smiling at himself, Li Chunfeng opened his mouth and smiled: "You can be regarded as a beginner in secret weapons, just practice more, practice makes perfect." Li Chunfeng regretted a little after speaking, if it was for the other disciples to tell them like this, it would be no problem, but he knew that Lin Yan's character was originally extremely diligent, because of his words, maybe he practiced day and night.
Thinking of this, Li Chunfeng added: "Don't just care about practicing silver needles, if you have nothing to do, take a look at the book I gave you with a complete explanation of the acupoints." ”
Speaking kung fu, Lin Yan has already thrown out four or five silver needles, and he is progressing faster and faster each time, Li Chunfeng, who was watching from the sidelines, couldn't help nodding, geniuses who are much more talented than others work harder than others, it is difficult for this kind of person to succeed or not.
Lin Yan asked: "Master, I tried it, your hand just now is too difficult, how can you use three silver needles at a time to shoot out one after another and you can also practice into a line, if enough silver needles are shot out in this way to break the surface, then won't the shortcomings of the low attack power of the silver needles make up for it?"
When Li Chunfeng heard this, he laughed and said, "Do you know how difficult it was for me just now, my limit is only five consecutive shots, and the Tang Sect Master has only practiced seven consecutive shots." Later you will understand that the difficulty of each additional silver needle increases exponentially. ”
Lin Yan still didn't give up and asked, "Master, is there a limit to this technique?"
Li Chunfeng thought for a while: "As far as I know, the ancestor who created this technique finally practiced ten consecutive shots, and among his descendants, the most outstanding one was one of my junior sisters, when we were young, she could do seven consecutive shots, and at that time, Tang Ao could only do six. Later, the head of the sect paid attention to the cultivation of the inner strength of the mental method, and the skills of this secret weapon were much worse, and until now it is only seven. And the little junior sister is just the opposite, she is majoring in secret weapons and poisoning skills, after so many years, I don't know what realm she has reached now, if she is not wasted, it is estimated that in terms of skills, there is no one in the Tang Sect who is her opponent. Li Chunfeng reminisced while falling into deep thought.
When Lin Yan heard this, his heart moved, "Isn't your junior sister in the Tang Sect now?"
"Because of some old things, alas, I won't mention it. You kid, you say you're so ambitious, but you have such talent and hard work, I guess it won't take you a few days to do it. But be careful not to chew too much, I don't want my personal disciple to be a person who is knowledgeable but not refined. After you've mastered all the basics of the hidden weapon, I'll teach you advanced techniques like this. Don't worry, it's enough for you to practice for a while. ”
Lin Yan nodded yes, Li Chunfeng's words reminded him that he had indeed focused on the cultivation of secret weapons during this time, and felt that he could not be as broad as he said, and the Book of Changes was placed on his chest, it can be said that he already had a mountain of gold in the exercises, and the cultivation of the Book of Changes had not yet reached perfection, and he really should not pursue the secret weapon excessively.
It's just that Lin Yan knows that he is in the Tang Sect, there are many people, and he usually lives with Wei Suo and a few people, which is inconvenient for his Tai Chi cultivation method. Although they are all good friends, the only person Lin Yan really believes in his heart is himself.
"Oh, yes. Li Chunfeng's voice sounded again, "There are still a few months before the annual big competition of the Tang Sect, are you interested?"
"Well, I've always heard them mention it, what kind of competition is this?"
"Well, I'll tell you more about it today, the rewards of this competition are still very deep. Li Chunfeng paused his throat, and then said: "Generally speaking, it is the comprehensive strength of the disciples, and the main form is a one-on-one challenge in the ring, the internal force of fists and feet, and the hidden weapon poison can be used. These ring races are all held on the main peak. ”
Lin Yan asked curiously: "Isn't it a bit ...... to use the ring to test the methods we have learned such as poisoning with hidden weapons?" Can't bring out all your strength?"
"Hahahaha, you kid is the same as I thought, but the rules of this kind of competition were thought up by Tang Ao, he is a decent person, so his style causes his disciples to like to duel with people openly, forgetting that we should be in the dark. However, under his leadership, there are also benefits, at least our Tang Sect's reputation in the rivers and lakes has been improved a lot. ”
Lin Yan nodded as if he didn't understand, he had told him since he was a child that kung fu was used to kill people. He has always believed that history is written by the victors, and that you can use any means to deal with your mortal enemy. In this cruel society, only by surviving can you have the right to judge whether it is right or not. So for Tang Ao's style, Lin Yan didn't say much.
Li Chunfeng continued: "This kind of ring system is also good, at least all the people who compete are Tang Sect disciples, and the things they have learned are similar, relatively speaking, it is relatively fair, if you fight with people from other sects like this, it is not easy to say." ”
Lin Yan asked again: "There are no eyes in the fists and feet, there is a danger of injury in this kind of competition in the ring, right?" It's not that Lin Yan is afraid of getting hurt, it's just that he thinks that he doesn't learn very well like Wei Suo, and the secret weapon will subconsciously shoot at the vital point of the human body, if he encounters an opponent stronger than him in the competition, if the opponent does not keep his hand, it is very likely to be hit hard.
Li Chunfeng explained with a smile: "The hidden weapons used in the competition are all specially made, and the sharp parts are all made of soft materials, and they are coated with a layer of white powder. In terms of fists and feet, we elders all feel that there is no problem with a slight injury as long as there are no sequelae, and now you young people are too lacking in training. As for the poison, it's better to say, I don't think there should be a poison that a few of us old guys can't solve, and even if there is, you can use internal force to force it out while you are not deeply poisoned. ”
Only then did Lin Yan get a general idea of Tangmen's annual competition.
