Chapter 920: Enlightening Sword
Seeing the dragon king jumping down from the wall, the old man Mu was relieved, and as soon as he moved to a secluded place, he whispered, "I'm scared to death, I thought those two corpses were ...... Fortunately, I lived up to the good girl's instructions. ”
Gu Shenwei snorted softly, "Wait here, I'll be back later." ”
"Ah, the dragon king still has ......"
Before the old man finished speaking, the dragon king had disappeared.
Gu Shenwei was confused by what he had just discovered, the men of Daxue Mountain were all swordsmen, and only some women knew some superficial swordsmanship, how could they leave such a martial art as the "Tiangang Sword Technique" and hide it in Jinpeng Castle?
To find out the truth, he had to look into more stone chambers.
There were a lot of vacant courtyards, and Gu Shen had experience this time, so he went straight to the corner on the far right after diving in, groping for the words engraved there.
Big Snow Mountain and Little Sword Peak
Thirteen Styles of Falling Geese
Gu Shenwei probably touched a few drawings and knew that this was also a set of knife techniques.
Several stone houses are engraved with the martial arts of the Great Snow Mountain, Luoshen Peak, Danduo Peak, Huagai Peak, Big Sword Peak, and Little Sword Peak are all in the list, knives, swords, sticks, guns, fists, palms, legs, fingers, everything is complete, especially the knife technique, which is vaguely the source of the heavy sword of the Great Snow Mountain, but the moves are dozens and hundreds of times.
It is estimated that there are about fifty or sixty kinds of stunts carved in the stone chambers on the south side of the narrow alley, and even if they are placed in the Central Plains, they are enough to support the first-class famous factions, and they are all named Daxue Mountain.
Gu Shenwei became more and more curious, almost forgetting the most important task tonight, and went to the north row of courtyards to investigate, there were obviously many fewer green noodles here, and there were only four or five people standing in the courtyard.
The stone houses on the north side are all rectangular, and Gu Shenwei also started to explore from the far right at the beginning, but the result was all graphics, no words, until he changed to the far left, and then he touched the name of the martial arts.
The first line is a strange text that he doesn't know, and he doesn't know what kind of Western Regions script it is, and the second line is the Central Plains text: Xuandu Peak's Short Blade Technique of the Castle of Death.
Xuandu Peak Death Castle, Gu Shenwei thought for a while before remembering where he heard this name.
There is a high priest of the flower soul in the country of Xiangji, who claims to be the descendant of the Holy King, and has told some absurd stories to Shangguan Ru and the Lotus Girl, which mentions that Jinpeng Fort was originally called the Fort of Death, and the name of the peak is Xuandu Peak, and the surname of the castle owner is Feng.
Gu Shenwei heard this story from Shangguan Ru, because it had nothing to do with him, he didn't particularly care about it, and he didn't expect to touch these words in the most secret area of Jinpeng Castle.
Gu Shenwei changed a few uninhabited stone rooms, which were all engraved with the martial arts of the Afterlife Castle, with bare hands, and all kinds of strange weapons, in the eighteenth room, he touched the "single knife technique", which was the narrow knife technique of Jinpeng Fort.
The time was getting later and later, and Gu Shenwei reminded himself several times that this place was very dangerous, he was not a large group of opponents of the green face, but he was reluctant to leave immediately, and he always wanted to know the martial arts content of the next stone room.
In the single knife stone room, he stayed for a while, and there were many sword moves engraved here, some of which were not found in the Jinpeng sword technique, and some of them were quite different.
The current Jinpeng knife method has obviously undergone some painful changes, becoming simpler and more practical, but it lacks the agility and strangeness of the original knife method.
The three stone chambers in succession are all single-handed.
The green faces who practiced the exercises gradually dispersed, and some simply rested in the stone room, Gu Shenwei was even more courageous, and even lit an oil lamp in a stone room.
Engraved on this wall is the "Long Blade Technique", that is, the sword technique, and Gu Shenwei has never seen a killer use it.
There are a total of fourteen moves, and there is no end, and the remaining moves must be engraved in other stone chambers.
This is a set of martial arts that have been abandoned by Jinpeng Castle, and it is almost not reflected in the narrow knife technique. Gu Shenwei quickly understood the reason, most of the moves on the wall were deliberately strange and new, and there were even many things that did not conform to the common sense of martial arts, such as backhand stabbing at the enemy, which was almost equivalent to death.
The original master of Jinpeng Castle was defeated by his subordinates, it was not unreasonable, the martial arts of the Holy King surnamed Feng were too clever and impractical, far inferior to the martial arts of the Great Snow Mountain opposite.
It's a pity that there are only martial arts names and graphics on the walls, and there are occasionally one or two annotations, and there is no record of the Great Snow Mountain and the Fort of the Dead.
It's just that the long-bladed technique that was completely abandoned by the Shangguan family, but it occupies the most stone room, a total of seven, as many as more than 100 moves, one move is weirder than the other, in the eyes of normal martial arts practitioners, most of them seem to take the initiative to expose their flaws and invite the enemy to kill themselves, and there is a lack of care between many moves, not like the same set of martial arts.
Gu Shenwei woke up in the third longblade technique stone room, where there were carved patterns and strange moves, and the eyes of several sword-wielders were obviously blindfolded by strips of cloth, and they simply didn't want to see the enemy.
What kind of swordsmanship doesn't need eyes? Gu Shenwei's heart jumped suddenly.
The Sutra of the Dead that he cultivated was sometimes like this, and it was the most powerful part!
Suddenly, a thought came into Gu Shenwei's mind, and he was stunned, holding an oil lamp, motionless and looking at the sword moves on the wall, full of surprise, completely forgetting that he was in danger.
The Book of the Dead that Gu Shenwei got was mainly narrated in words, with only twenty-nine pictures, implying twenty-nine kinds of exercises, all relying on their own comprehension, Gu Shenwei and the lotus girl each understood a practice method, and then improved it in actual combat again and again.
In fact, the Book of the Dead has routines and moves, but they are not recorded in that book, and they are all engraved in the stone room.
Those moves that are so weird that they seem to be committing suicide, if they are explained by the righteousness of the Book of the Dead, everything will fall into place, not only harmless to oneself, but also a wonderful work.
There is a lack of correspondence between the moves, because they are not originally a set of swordsmanship, but twenty-nine sets, corresponding to the twenty-nine drawings in the Book of the Dead, although each set is only a few moves, but it can greatly expand the application skills of the Dead Man's Sutra swordsmanship.
There are too many doubts, Gu Shenwei can only answer them with guesses.
The founder of the Xuandu Peak Death Castle, probably the author of the Book of the Dead, is a martial arts scholar, I don't know why, but his descendants with the surname Feng lost the vital Sword Sutra, leaving only a bunch of unknown sword moves, so the power was completely lost, but was surpassed by his subordinates, and the Holy King was forced to flee to the country of incense in the south.
The distant ancestors of the Shangguan family must have been inextricably linked to the Great Snow Mountain, and they brought richer martial arts that were not suitable for assassination, so they learned from each other's strengths and combined the Death Fort and the Great Snow Mountain into one, forming today's killer knife technique.
A small number of green noodles were fortunate enough to be exposed to more martial arts, but they couldn't see the original tricks before, and they could only learn the part that had been transformed by the Shangguan family, and Dubu King wanted to remove the traces of the killer, so he made an exception for the green noodles to practice the original martial arts of the Great Snow Mountain in the stone room.
Some of the martial arts in the stone chamber in the north are still of reference significance, attracting several green faces, as for the "long blade technique", it has been completely forgotten, although there are spare oil lamps in the seven stone chambers, they have hardly been lit before Gu Shenwei.
But why the Great Snow Mountain has degenerated from a rich and diverse martial arts to only a slightly clumsy heavy sword swordsmanship is a big question that Gu Shenwei can't guess no matter what.
Gu Shenwei had completely left the old man and the task of this trip behind, and after reading all the figures in the seven stone rooms, he returned to the third room, where there were five images of sword wielders blindfolded, which was the extended move of his practice.
There are only five moves, but Gu Shenwei can look at it intently, unconsciously pull out the Wufeng Knife, and practice it as usual, at the beginning it was extremely uncomfortable, so while practicing, he recalled those mysterious commentaries in the scriptures, and gradually comprehended, and found that his previous moves were too restrained, and ten percent of the power was only five or six percent.
"I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed. Gu Shenwei muttered to himself, he and the lotus girl had practiced the Book of the Dead in a daze, thinking that he was already a real master, but in fact, he had just started, and there was still a long way to go before he entered the room.
Poof, the oil runs out and the lamp is dry.
Gu Shenwei was dazed, still staring at the wall, and it took a while to wake up and realize that it was already dawn outside.
And his heart lit up.
Gu Shenwei and the lotus girl were confined to little experience and short-sightedness, and did not discover the rich connotation of the Book of the Dead. In contrast, Old Man Mu is a master of martial arts, just on the cliff, he said that the dead may have two practice methods suitable for learning at the same time, and he was scorned by Gu Shenwei, but in fact, Old Man Mu was right. Not to mention the two practice methods, all twenty-nine practice methods are still a set of sword techniques in the final analysis, if a person can only practice one of them, how did the Holy King of the Afterlife Castle create this set of martial arts in the first place?
Gu Shenwei ignored the danger exposed, and returned to the first stone chamber of the long blade technique, looking at the sword moves from the beginning, confirming them one by one with the words in the Book of the Dead, and deducing their corresponding practice methods, the more he thought about it, the more mysterious he felt, and countless half-understood and stumbling places suddenly became clear, and at the same time, more doubts arose, forcing him to meditate on the simple figures on the stone wall.
This thought was a day, and Gu Shenwei did not leave the first stone room an inch.
Fourteen figures, a total of fourteen moves, corresponding to four practice methods, all of which Gu Shenwei never thought of.
The lotus girl comprehended "killing", Gu Shenwei walked "own death", Shangguan Hong vaguely touched "survival", the four exercises here have no written titles, Gu Shenwei according to the records in the scriptures, named himself self-forgetfulness, cherishing life, sword and materialization.
Until this time, he finally admitted that the Great Jue Sword Sutra is the most accurate name, and the Dead Man's Sutra can only summarize a few of the exercises, such as the practice of cherishing life, there are a total of three moves, and the moves are not far from the key points, but they always have to let the opponent live at the last moment, if they have to continue to make moves, it is likely to lead to the same end.
There must be a main thread running through the twenty-nine kinds of exercises, and Gu Shenwei has not yet realized it.
That night, he went to the second stone room to watch, and found that four of the moves were consistent with the killing practice of the Lotus Girl, who now kills one person with one sword, and if he learns these four moves, he can use one enemy without complicated tactics.
Gu Shenwei couldn't help but imagine the lotus girl as the enemy in front of him, and pondered the way to solve it.
The night passed, Gu Shenwei did not sleep, did not eat or drink, although he had not yet found a way to win the lotus girl, his understanding of the Book of the Dead was deeper.
When the second day came, Gu Shen was ready to go to the third stone chamber, but he ran into trouble.
One of the servants who had come to clean up the courtyard exclaimed in surprise, "It is strange that someone has used up the lamp oil here." ”
